2. What is community based
tourism
Community based tourism is tourism
in which local residents (often rural,
poor and economically marginalised)
invite tourists to visit their
communities with the provision of
overnight accommodation.
The residents earn income as land
managers, entrepreneurs, service
and produce providers, and
employees. At least part of the
tourist income is set aside for
projects which provide benefits to
the community as a whole.

4. RURALTOURISM
Rural tourism focuses on actively
participating in a rural lifestyle. It can be
a variant of ecotourism. Many rural
villages can facilitate tourism because
many villagers are hospitable and eager
to welcome (and sometime even host)
visitors. Agriculture is becoming highly
mechanized and therefore, requires less
manual labor. This trend is causing
economic pressure on some villages,
which in turn causes young people to
move to urban areas. There is however,
a segment of the urban population that
is interested in visiting the rural areas
and understanding the lifestyle. This
segment in the tourism industry has
been rapidly growing in the past decade,
leading to rural tourism becoming not
just a good business prospect, but a
genuine vacation trend.
5. AGRI TOURISM
Agritourism is the latest concept in
the Indian tourism industry, which
normally occurs on farms. It gives
you the opportunity to experience
the real enchanting and authentic
contact with the rural life, taste the
local genuine food and get familiar
with the various farming tasks during
the visit. It provides you the
welcome escape from the daily
hectic life in the peaceful rural
environment. It gives you the
chance to relax and revitalize in the
in the pure natural environment,
surrounded by magnificent setting.
7. Village tourism is the primary tourism product to
spread tourism and its socio-economic benefits to
rural and its new geographic regions, thereby
stopping the exodus from rural to urban areas.
The objective is to showcase rural life, art, culture
and heritage at rural locations and in villages, which
have core competence in art & craft, handloom, and
textiles as also an asset base in the natural
environment. The intention is to benefit the local
community economically and socially as well as
enable interaction between tourists and local
population for a mutually enriching experience.
8. Povertyalleviation
Poverty reduction is a term that describes
the promotion of economic growth that will
permanently lift as many people as possible
over apoverty line.
Poverty reduction measures, like those
promoted by Henry George in his economics
classic Progress and Poverty are those that raise,
or are intended to raise, enabling the poor to
create wealth for themselves as a means for
ending poverty forever. In modern times, various
economists within the georgism movement
propose measures like the land value tax to
enhance access by all to the natural world.
10. The Indian Society is not as simple as it looks from the
outside. India has a large number of tribal people who still
belong to a social set-up, of which very little is known.
These tribes who stay in different parts of the country are
still to come out of their traditional way of life and join the
mainstream. Not-with-standing this apparent aloofness,
these tribes are very much a part of Indian society.
Having a culture and tradition that is distinctly different
from others, the tribals still occupy the yet to be
discovered horizons.
Modern India has many indigenous tribes that even
today retain their primitive customs and their lives are
directly associated with their natural surroundings. The
tribals in India, are the pro-environmental communities
who are fighting to protect rivers, lands and forest that
make for their livelihood. The congruity that exist between
local tribals and Nature only helps in making tribal
territories full of exotic bio-diversities.
12. IndigenousTourism :-can be defined as a tourism activity in which
Indigenous people are directly involved either through control
and/or by having their culture serve as the essence of the attraction
Aboriginal (cultural) tourism describes all tourism businesses that are
owned or operated by
First Nations people, A tourist visiting an aboriginal cultural tourism
site may experience cultural tourism by looking
at a fish wheel and learning about the historical and modern day
significance of salmon to the
local people. Interpretation is an important aspect of providing the
visitor with a broad understanding of the local culture.
Some examples include:
Restaurants that serve indigenous food
Hotels, wineries and resorts owned by indigenous people
Museums or interpretive centers
Aboriginal eco-tourism businesses
